This song sounds like a well known summer dance track that fuses the emotion and intricacy of singer-songwriter performances and a smooth and addictive rhythm and string of acoustic riffs. It’s been a common selling point in recent years for those singles that went big, the energy is accessible to everyone, and the good vibes are the sort that transcend many genres.
The track in this case has been beautifully arranged and produced, and the leading performance has the smoothness and realness to carry the melody in an appealing way. As the pace increases, the passion notably rises as well, there are various new moments of instrumentation that appear, though all the while the sound has a cleverly organic element to it that adds to that natural, beach side kind of vibe. It’s a powerful way to compose music, taking the strength of electronic creation and holding onto space and those necessary moments of emotion and humanity to keep it feeling very genuine.
The track sounds great, the final polish has made certain that everything shines brightly as it should, the rhythm and riffs throughout are easy to appreciate and recognisable as the sort that will leave you feeling happy. The lyrics aren’t massively memorable but that’s not often an important point with this kind of music – as stated, the riffs and the overall energy of the piece is what people will recognise. The hook of course has a certain sound to it and is repeated enough times, particularly towards the end, that this line alone does stay with you after listening. It’s not the story in full, but it’s the song’s title, and so any time you see the phrase written or you hear the call of that vocal part you’ll know what’s coming.
